INSTITUTIONS IN

INDIANA SURVEY

Welfare Aid, Klinger Assert Overcrowding Is Worst Fault of Prisons.

Indiana needs two new correctional institutions to permit segregation of inmates and relieve overcrowding of present institutions, it was

claimed today in a survey. The survey, which found overcrowding to be the worst fault of the State’s correctional program, is being completed by Thomas G. Hutton, Welfare Department statistician, and John H. Klinger, Correction Division director. “Overcrowding has hindered the proper segregation of offenders and has resulted in doubling up in cells. Releases and transfers must be made as matters of expediency rather than because the individual case calls for such treatment,” they said.

670 Above Normal

It was reported that in 1938 the adult correctional institutions in Indiana were housing an average of 670 inmates above their normal capacity. A separate hospital for insane criminals, mental defectives, sex psychopaths, chronically ill and syphilitics is the first major need, the investigators asserted. Indiana now has a criminally insane hospital within the walls of the State Prison at Michigan City which is filled “to overflowing” and is still unable to care for many prisoners who require special medjcal or psychiatric services for permanent custody, the survey states. The second need pointed out by the survey is for a minimum custody institution for felons. At present the Reformatory and the State Prison divide inmates by age. This results, the men said, in hardened criminals below 30 entering the Reformatory, and first offenders over 30 entering the State Prison where they are thrown with hardened criminals.

CHADWICK RAPS WAR VOTE PLAN

Legion Chief Says Ludlow Bill ‘Would Wreck

National Unity.’

The war referendum proposal of Rep. Louis Ludlow (D. Ind.) would “wreck national unity in emergencies,” Stephen F. Chadwick, national commander of the American Legion, declared in a statement today. “We admit that the war referendum idea is an intriguing doctrine for mothers,” Mr. Chadwick said. “But our mothers felt thé same way about us. Witness, ‘I didn't raise my boy to be a soldier,” and ‘He kept us out of war.’ Those attitudes were misinterpreted immediately by representatives of other nations, resulting in a declaration of war by Congress. “If we ever become debating societies to determine whether to enter war we would be a people divided if we did enter. The machinery required for such a vote would mean creation of a minority party. We immediately would be the victims of propaganda from one side or the other. “There have been issues in the Old World in the last two or three years which, if placed on the ballot, might have the American people divided today and distracted from their own proper concerns. “We believe in our representative government, and if our representatives are not capable of deciding such questions, we suggest they get out of Congress and let men and women go there who can. “We want to avoid war, and to chart a course that will preserve our values and let us live in respected peace.”

PROBE LAUNCHED IN

MICHIGAN CITY FIRE

MICHIGAN CITY, April 26 (U. P) .—Investigators today probed a fire which caused damage estimated $20,000 to the Hirsch Department Store yesterday. The blaze was believed to have started in the basement near the heating plant and to have been fed by oil seeping from the cracked fuel tank. Firemen fought the flames for more than five hours.

GAIN IN RETAIL BUSINESS HERE

City Second Only to Detroit In This Area; Earlier Easter Factor.

Indianapolis department store sales gained substantially during March, in comparison to the same month a year ago, a summary of business conditions by the Seventh

District Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago revealed today. The summary, compiled by George J. Schaller, president of the bank, showed that Indianapolis’ gain for the month, 9.4 per cent, was nearly 3 per cent above the average. Only Detroit, of all the major cities in the district which comprises Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Michigan and Wisconsin, showed a higher gain. Mr. Schaller reported that department store net sales here for the first three months this year were 45 per cent higher than the same quarter last year, the average for the district showing a 1.7 per cent gain, This greater than usual improvement in March was attributed partly to the earlier date of Easter this year. For the entire district, department store sales last month ex-

: ceeded February by 38 per cent.

the average rise in the 1929 to 193% period being only 22 per cent. In industrial and trade activity, a rising trend was reported also, while a slightly more than seasonal increase was recorded in industrial employment and payrolls. The Reserve Bank reported that, due largely to Treasury operations, there was a 158 million dollar rise in Reserve balances of Seventh District member banks between March 15 and April 19.

WASHINGTON, April 26.—Despite the publicity given the current Presidential boom of Vice President Garner and Secretary of State Hull, the Dixie Democrats are vastly impressed by Paul V. McNutt, the cloakroom conversations of Southern Congressmen reveal.

Many of these men served under Jack Garner when he was Speaker of the House and, while they openly profess their love for him, they rule both he and Mr. Hull out of the 1940 Presidential picture because of

age. That leaves Jim Farley and although they like the Farley-Tam-many type of politics with plenty of patronage, they recall what happened to the “solid South” when

the Democrats nominated Al Smith in 1928. Such New Dealers as Secretary of Interior Ickes, Secretary of Agriculture Wallace and Secretary of Commerce Hopkins are definitely “out” so far as these Southerners are concerned. They point out that they have only been Democrats a short time, while Indiana's favorite son comes from a long line of Democratic ancestors and his father was a Democratic Appellate Judge in the state. That helps a lot. But even more helpful is the fact that Mrs. McNutt came from Texas. But these Southerners also make the point that Mrs. Dewey is a grand-niece of Jefferson Davis, president of the Confederate States, and could very well carry on a campafgn among the Daughters of the Confederacy below the Mason-Dixon line. Such being the case, they do not want the McNutt backers to promise too much to Negroes in the North on the ground, they predict, that
